Today, schizophrenia in its most severe forms - the disease is by no means rare. It is known that delirium, obsessive ideas, paranoia, mania, emotional problems and other things affect more than 60 million people all over the world. Despite the rapid development of science, at present even the causes of this disease are not known. However, this does not prevent the leading luminaries of science from developing ever new approaches in the treatment of schizophrenia. Do not lag behind them and esoteric areas, as well as religion.
Traditional treatment of schizophrenia
Currently, it is common to combine psychotherapeutic techniques and medication, for which such drugs are used to suppress symptoms, such as risperidone, haloperidol and clozapine. However, all drugs of this series have unpleasant side effects: the development of seizures and involuntary movements, weight gain, complications on the heart and blood vessels.
Under the supervision of a psychiatrist, it is permitted to take antipsychotic medications that can suppress delirium and hallucinations and enable the patient to think coherently. After a long treatment, taking support before allows patients to return to normal life. However, the rejection of drugs after discharge from the hospital in 60-80% of cases led to a relapse of the disease.
Treatment with the help of drugs has a lot of side effects: patients complain of visual impairment, drowsiness, dizziness, trembling, dry mouth, constipation, anxiety, stiffness, motor disorders, spasms in the muscles of the neck, face, eyes, stiffness in muscles. However, within 2-3 weeks after the start of the drug, these undesirable effects disappear. Some symptoms can be removed by taking corrective medications (eg, cyclodol).
A new generation of antipsychotics gives far fewer side effects and allows one to hope that someday mental disorders will be defeated by science.
Schizophrenia: treatment by communication
Psychiatrists do not propose to count only on taking medications, and necessarily prescribe psychotherapeutic treatment, communication in the group and other similar techniques, including the treatment of schizophrenia with hypnosis. Many experts argue that if relatives and friends have not turned away from the patient, this gives a very positive effect and allows you to expect a faster recovery.
Close, helping to control the symptoms, giving their attention and care, allow the patient to strive for recovery and make moral efforts to get out of the painful condition. To a person afflicted with the disease, contact with relatives is important, whether it is an additional treatment of schizophrenia with yoga in the company of friends or just a heart-to-heart talk.
Treatment of schizophrenia in holy places or prayers
The priests say: if the heart of man is closed to religion and faith, prayers will not help him. However, if he believes, then prayers for him, and the ascended ones themselves give a healing result.
In Christianity, any disease is treated as a punishment for sins, and only a sincere repentance, the purification of the soul, can save from such punishment. You can pray in those words that cause the most favorable disposition of the spirit, whether it be Jesus' prayer, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me," or "Our Father."
Do not impose religion on a person who is not a believer, or pray for an atheist. Even though a person is seriously ill, he remains an independent person with the right to moral choice, which means that you can not decide for yourself, which is better for him.
